Reimagining Collaboration in XR Lessons from the Global Collaboration Village 2025

2Outcomes and achievements Participants in the Global Collaboration Village were enthusiastic about its powerful communication and engagement benefits. Over its life cycle, the Global Collaboration Village hosted around 70 events, including Annual Meetings, youth gatherings, thematic summits and strategic partner workshops. Participation occurred both remotely and onsite, with engagement deepening as the platform evolved. Participation drew from a diverse global network – representing more than 60 countries and a wide mix of Forum stakeholders, including executives, government officials, partner representatives, and youth and civil society voices from the Global South. Participant feedback described the Village as “insightful”, “transformative” and “a powerful step forward for digital collaboration”. 2.1 Impact pathways Outcomes and achievements The Village’s design was anchored in an impact pathway built around four key pillars: insight, engagement, collaboration and trust in technology. Outcomes related to these four pillars were tracked over time through participant surveys and user insights.
